Note:

 The solar-powered temperature transmitter

uses solar cells to charge the rechargeable batteries (2 x AAA rechargeable batteries; included).

 Those rechargeable batteries cannot be

replaced.

SOLAR TRANSMITTER OPER A TIO N MODE S

Important: Users need to press the reset key to activate the solar transmitter and link the transmission to the Solar Station (receiver).

It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while activating the solar transmitter. Make sure the lights are on in the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or

brighter - do not cover with hands or other

objects. Solar transmitter RESET key:

The solar transmitter has 3 operations modes:

will go into Idle mode.

 If the solar transmitter is placed into a dark

environment for 72 hours, will goes into Stop mode.

 If the user cover the solar cell for 10 seconds

and press the reset button, "StP" will be displayed on the LCD. Then the transmitter enters STOP mode.

Idle Operation Mode:

 This mode occurs when the battery voltage

drops lower than 2.4V.

 LCD is turned off.  Does not perform temperature measurement

and transmission.

 The environment brightness is checked

every 5 seconds.

 If battery voltage is raised higher than 2.5V,

the unit will go into Normal mode.

 If the solar transmitter is placed into a dark

environment for 72 hours, the unit will go into Stop mode.

Stop Operation Mode:

 This mode occurs when the solar transmitter

is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours, or the user covers the solar cell for 10 seconds and presses the RESET button.

 The transmitter is in a standby state. It does

not perform any operation and the LCD is off.

 Under a bright condition, press the reset

button to wake up the transmitter into normal operation mode (battery voltage is higher than 2.5V)

 The most power saving mode.

TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION

The Solar Station can use either the included 2 x alkaline rechargeable battery (charged by solar panel; included) or 2 x AA alkaline battery (nonrechargeable; not included).

INITIAL SETUP

It is very important to follow these steps:

1. First, remove the label covering over the battery compartment on the back.

2. Open the battery compartment, and MAKE SURE that the battery switch is in the

position (not the SOLAR

BATTERY

position).

3. Now locate the battery insulator tab, and gently pull to remove it.

4. Slide the battery switch to the SOLAR position

5. Battery switch in the S OLAR

TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION

The included alkaline rechargeable batteries should provide you with many years of service. If your batteries need to be replaced, we suggest you use 2 fully charged the AA Alkaline. Rechargeable batteries should be fully charged before inserting into clock. Alkaline rechargeable batteries must be used.

If you choose to use non-rechargeable batteries, the battery switch MUST be moved to the

BATTERY

position (not the SOLAR position). In this position, the solar cells do not charge the batteries.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERIES INSTALLED, THE BATTERY SWITCH MUST

BE IN THE BATTERY POSITION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED.

If rechargeable batteries are used, the Battery switch should be moved to the SOLAR position

it is has been inserted.

AFTER

To use non-rechargeable alkaline batteries:

1. Remove the included rechargeable AA batteries from the compartment.

2. Use the switch to select the alkaline battery (see below).

3. Insert the batteries into the compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment.

4. Replace battery cover

Note: For best performance, batteries should be replaced at least once every 2 years to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the batteries used are new and the correct size.
